The Reduction Of the Revenue.
WHY THE SPEAKER WOULD NOT ENTERTAIN MOTION
TO REPEAL TEE TOBACCO TAX.


TO REPEAL TEE TOBACCO TAX.
Two letters are made public showing why
Speaker Carlisle did not yesterday entertain a
motion to repeal the tobacco tax. The first letter
is signed by Representatives Wise, John L. Hen
dersOn and Randall, asking, cat the instance OF
many democratic members OF the House, that
the Speaker recognize some democrat who would
move to suspend the rules for the purpose OF re-
pealing all internal revenue taxes Cd tobacco.
Many republicans the SignerS say, are anxious to
make such a motion; but il permitted to do so
that party would get the credit, which 'wOuld al
most certainly cause the loss to the democracy OF
not less than two southern states at the general
elections In the year 1885," The S1gners also de-
clare that large majority OF the House would, in
their belief, vote for the proposed motion.
Speaker Carlisle in his answer, recalls the ef-
forts made by the Morrison and Randall men 70
reach an understanding on the whole subject OF
tariff and revenue reform, and says: "AmOng
other things we proposed to submit the entire SUBJ
ject to caucus OF our political friends with the
understanding that all parties would abide by the
results OF its action and in case that course was
not satisfactory to you we informed you that we
would at any time, upon reasonable notice, sup
port motion to go into the committee OF the
whole on the state OF the union for the purpose Of
considering House bill No. 9,702, introduced by
Mr. Randall at the last session. That bill relates
to internal revenue as well as tar1a taxes, and
proposes to repeal the entire internal revenue tax
on manufactured tobacco, snuH and cigars We
have received no response to that communication,
and consider that 1t would not be proper, under
the circumstances, for me TO agree to a course OF
OF the House simple proposition for the repeal OF
the internal revenue tax, on tobacco. snun and
cigars to the exclusion OF all other measures for
the reduction Of taxation"

Mr.. D. w. Bartlett, American secretary Of the
Chinese legation, said to STAR reporter to-day
that there is no truth whatever in the published
story that Mr. LANG OF the legation is engaged to

mer the wife Of q comedian at Days theater and

such an act be regarded as a social crime by his

MORALITY IN THE DISTRICT.
Regulating the Sale Of Liquor. etc.
STRINGENT BILLS AGREED UPON By THE HOUSE DIS
TRICT COMMITTEE.


The House District committee had long discus
sion to-day over the bill to regulate the sale
OF distilled and termented liquors in the District
OF Columbia A number Of persons sought to be
heard In opposition to the BILL but the committee
decided that they had heard enough from the out
side and would not admit any one to the commit
tee room. There were many differences OF opinion
among the committeeman, and it was only after
the rates OF license had been reduced by way OF
compromise that an agreement could be reached.
The license for selling wine and beer was fixed at
$50, for selling alcoholic liquors at $780, and for
wholesale license $50. A number OF verbal amend
ments recommended by Senator ingalls, to guard
against any possible evasion were adopted, among
tnem one giving the commissioners authority to
refuSe 10 grant licenses for reasons they may deem
good and sufficiont, and also to forfeit licenses
already granted. An amendment proposed by Mr.
Rowen was adopted, providing that parties yiOlat-
Ing the law may be 1ncarcerated In jail until their
fines are paid. The bill, as amended, was then
adopted and authorized to be reported to the House
favOrably.
PROTECTING THE MORALS OF MINORS.
The Senate bill for the protection OF minors in
the District OF Columbia, with some verbal amend
ments, was directed to be reported favorably to
the House as a substitute for the House bill. The
bill provides that the traffic with minors in alcO-
hol1c liquors. billiard-paytng, pOOl-Selling and
gambling in the District OF Columbia shall be

from ten TO sixty days imprisonment for the first

In relation to the large number OF persons sent
